HC goes East: November 2008
http://hcgoeast.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Montag, 3. November 2008. In my first days in Japan i really was surprised seing so many pannels, telling me what to do and what not. I recall someone telling me about a sign saying "stick to the rules". Of course there is no such sign, but that's the impression you get. So i have been thinking about that. It's not that there are more or radically different things you are told to do/omit. So what's the fuzz about it? Moreover, the concept of a soul, in that special case the notion of a good. So the omnip...

HC goes East: Oktober 2007
http://hcgoeast.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
Sonntag, 28. Oktober 2007. During the weekend I went to Chiba City, to see what it's like. Being not that tourist-mekka,. Chiba has its sights, such as Chiba-Castle, a zoo and the Port Tower, all of these linked by Chiba Urban Monorail, worlds longest suspension type monorail. Most of the day i spent at the port area, which is one of the largest in all of Japan. Just some minutes walk from Minato Station there's a small piece of green in midst the never to end industrial architecture. But you also h.

Mittwoch, 15. Oktober 2008. Commonly told untruths about Japan. Some months have passed now since i returned home. And there wasn't much time to look back. But i won't leave this blog behind unfinished, so here we go:. Of course that depends of current exchange rates, but as said before. In general things of every day life are rather cheap and you always get good value for what you pay. Everyone is in martial arts. Ways of separating your waste. I never experienced the stuffing staff myself, not even ear...

HC goes East: Mai 2007
http://hcgoeast.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
Donnerstag, 24. Mai 2007. Basicly I wanted to learn one more langugage and live in another contry for some time. Only this time something more different than my stay in Switzerland (which has been rather nice after all). From the beginnig on m. Y choice has been either an eastern european or an asian country. While the first would have been much more easier to realize and also lucrative of some sort (regarding EUs eastward expansion) my decision fell on the latter. Dienstag, 15. Mai 2007.

Freitag, 25. April 2008. So what about Canada? I am back home for some weeks now and all of my trip seems so distant and long ago somehow. But there's so much left to tell. Anywhay, no way just walking away leaving this blog unfinished. T with a swift report on my visit to Canada. I spent some days together with Kathi in Ottawa, so glad to be reun. Ited once again. We went around this not that well known capital an. D i liked all the garish neo-medieval architecture. As i recently had my temple-and-any-o...

HC goes East: August 2007
http://hcgoeast.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html
Samstag, 11. August 2007. I finally applied for a language course! The school I chose is GEOS Kudan. Who I have already been in contact with. The nice contact is one main reason I chose them. Responses have always been rather swift, and they tried their best to help me with my questions. So I'll probably be right at the focus of controversy about japanese history). Lastly, they will organize homestay at a reasonable price either. (By the way, there's a worldwide homestay marketplace online.

HC goes East: Oh Canada....
http://hcgoeast.blogspot.com/2008/03/oh-canada.html
Dienstag, 11. März 2008. I slept well in my in the basement room i got, spent my last money to get to Westminster, Elephant&Castle and for a steak pie with a half stout. I realize it has really been a long time since i have been the last time to London, and after so long a time in Tokyo this metropolis rather looks small as for the buildings as well as the dimension. People are open and emotional. People are loud and noisy. People are dressed casually. Eating with knife and spoon at every meal. Yeah, rev...

Freitag, 29. Februar 2008. How i have been missing a proper routing system in the streets! As i had to stay in bed, i didnt see so much of Kansai main city Osaka. People seem to be really nice once again, although it seems rather common to talk to oneself (No, there was no headset, i looked). Futhermore people line up on the right side of esacalators, but tend to walk on the left in the streets nonetheless (so it actually can get even more complicated). Montag, 25. Februar 2008.

HC goes East: Juli 2007
http://hcgoeast.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html
Freitag, 13. Juli 2007. Directly into latest news. So i have been working through about hundrets of Tokyo-based language schools, which are more or less very similar. What I'm disappointed of, i found no new ones that organise homestay. So the choice here's quite hard limited down to the three or four Institutes I have been envisaging from the beginning on. So now I included some more contacts which I think are good picks, for the one or another reason. See the list below:. Shinjuku, Yoyogi Park). Dies i...
